STURBRIDGE — A motorcycle rider was seriously hurt in a crash on Route 20 Wednesday evening.

Police said the motorcycle was traveling west when it struck an Oldsmobile that pulled out of Picker Road about 5:10 p.m. to head east on Route 20.

The front driver's side of the car appeared to have sustained heavy damage; the driver's side wheel was pushed in and there was heavy damage to the fender, hood and windshield. The motorcycle was on its side next to the car as members of the Central Massachusetts Law Enforcement Council accident reconstruction team investigated.

Traffic snarled on Route 20 as both lanes were blocked by the accident in the immediate area of Picker Road. Police directed traffic through the intersection for more than two hours.

Police said the driver of the Oldsmobile was taken to Harrington Hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.
